Backup/Recovery tools - Acronis vs Macrium

@OldMike65 Your post above was very helpful. Here's my situation and a question: Like you, I've been using Acronis for some time. I'm currently using TIH 2014 on a Windows 10 PC, even though Win10 is not officially supported by TIH 2014. I've had no problems, except for the usual Acronis quirks. In fact recently had a hard drive fail and did a perfect restore with TIH 2014. But this software is getting old, and it can be problematic (after installing new drive, it kept looking for files on the previous drive, causing failed backups, until I deleted and restored the archives file). So I'm looking to try something new, and reading lots of good things about Macrium Reflect.

Here's my question: Can I run Macrium Reflect side by side with Acronis for a while before undertaking the project of getting Acronis off my machine? This is an older thread, so I hope someone sees this. ��

Sure you can.
